“This 711 always seems to have their shelves stocked at all times. The customer service is great. The food is good, for what 711 has to offer. It always looks hot and fresh. Only downside to this 711 location is the parking lot it can go from an in and out experience. To a FML experience real quick.”

“Island Stop Deli serves delicious food and offers great customer service, but it’s definitely on the pricey side. The restroom is an outdoor porta-potty, though it does include a handwashing station inside.”

“Been THE store for the local people of Topping VA for longer than I've been alive. It's 3rd generation family owned, and the employees are some of the nicest, most respectable folks you'll ever meet. Also, if you're into antiques or just like experiencing things from the yesteryear, this place will be a real treat for you, as the pumps are old as Methuselah and still functioning quite well, while the store itself is actually used to be a auto garage in the 50s and has since been converted into the store. If your route takes you past Tall Chief, make sure to stop in, if for nothing more than the nostalgia.”

“With only 4 miles of range left before I ran out of gas. I stopped at Fast Mart to fill up with gas. There was a sign on every pump saying that for the moment they were only accepting cash no credit. I went inside to pay cash and I was told that I could not pay with cash either because of a software problem. The two ladies working, told me if I waited, they might get the software issue solved. I said, I would have to wait because I was pretty much out of gas. Meanwhile they had locked the doors and put close signs on the doors. They were on the phone trying to solve the problem and I waited for maybe 15 minutes. Thankfully, they solved the problem and I was able to put $10 of gas in my car. The two ladies could not have been more kind. Due to of my lack of planning, I would have been stuck if it wasn't for these two amazing and kind women. Thank you so much.”

“I have never written a review of a 7-11, but I had the best time in the rain watching the 4th of July fireworks. The staff were so friendly and funny. They helped me talk my kids out of unnecessary purchases and turned a rainy night into something to remember.”

“Please stop hating on 7/11. I have lived in Irvington all my life and can say with full certainty this place has never let me down. Be patient with the workers and keep in mind all the assholes they have to deal with. If you rate this establishment any lower than five stars...pull the stick out of your a** and stop being a dick. It's a 7/11 for Pete's sake. Be kind and if you have something bad to say...can it!”

“For the folks that enjoy gas station food this is one of those places that offers some good food! Breakfast sandwich selection is great. The chicken is cooked to perfection. The staff here are very polite no matter who is at the register.”
